Prominent Merchant In Trouble. Old Moneybags mopes in his office all day, AS snappish and cross as bear; The clerks know enough to keep out of his
 way,
 Lest the merchant should grumble and
 swear. Even Tabby, the cat, is in fear of cuff, Or kick, if she ventures too near; They all know the master iB apt to be
 rough,
 And his freaks unexpected and queer. What makes the old fellow so rsurly and
 grim,
 And behave 50 confoundedly mean! There's certainly something the matter with
 him
 Is it stomach, or liver, or spleen7 We've guessed it-his liver is sluggish and
 bad.
 His blood is disordered and foul, It's enough to make anyone hopelessly mad, And greet his best friend with growl. The world d-wide remedy, Dr. Pierce's Gold en Medical Discovery, will correct a disor- dered liver and purify the blood, tone your system and build up your flesh and strength.

NEW YORK, Dec. 15. The market was very dull and fluctuations ex- cept in two or three stocks were confined to less than per cent. New England, Fort Worth and Denver were the strong stocks. the dealing in the first named being the most important of the day: Manhattan and Missouri Pacific sold ex-dividend and the remainder of the list without feature. Stocks opened steady to firn but the transactions were the smallest for that time of day in many months The list was stagnant until the afternoon when there was little more animation, but at the expense of values. Most of the list were brought below the opening figures, but in the last hour there was more real buying than during the entire previous portion of the day. The close was dull, but at the best prices of the day.

 GENTLRMEN:
 I feel that I owe you my life, and why there fore should I shield my self under the cloak of se- crecy, or shrink from such notoriety as this let ter to you may obtain for ime. if by it I attest the truth of a great natural remedy. and pay you a trif1e of the gratitude I shall always feel I owe yeu. You have asked for i a brief history of my case. Here it is as brief and concise as I can make lit.
 Cur entire family has been more or leEs a ner- vous one. My grandfath- CT died of a stroke of pa- ralysis; my mother suf- fered from agonizing at- tacks of neuralgia nearly all her life, and at last died in puerperaI convul- lsfons, giving birth to my youngest brother, Aleck, who is now in an insane asylum in your State.
 I have for years been troubled with neuralgia | of the face severely. and my occupation (teacher) rendering me liable to over-work, had aggrava- tad it and also caused me lssvere neural xic head aches. Two years ago about these troubles sud denly left me, and I thought I was rid of them forever, but suddenly I became subject to faint ing spells, preceded by a sharp pain over the heart, Ia sense of strangling, cold sweat, and the feel ing as if someone had igripped me by the heart and was squeezing out my life. The agony was frightful and the prostra- |tion resulting lasted for days, and later for weeks. The least excitement, @ nasty movement, almost anyt thing, brought them on. After a time I be- came almost afraid to move lest one of the hor- rible attacks should re- suit.
 I consulted doctor after doctor. They all agreed I had neuralgia of the heart, pitied me, advised 8 quiet, easy life, so long as it lasted, but could of fer no hope. It was about this time that an enthusiastic friend, also a lady teacher, who had been radically cured of sick headache by your SCOTCH OATS ESSENCE, me to try it, and I finally did so, hoping and caring but little.
 During the first two months of it's use I had but two attacks; during the third but one, and since then never a trace of my old enemy, thank God and you.
 Have I been concise in nay story? Il ,an never be 50 in my hanks and gratitude.
 Very sincerely yours, GERTRUDE SHELDON, |

Mime. Cerster,s Lost Voice.

The New York Herald's European edition of Thursday publishes an interview with Mime. Marchesi of Paris, who takes a hopeful view of Gerster's chances of recovering her injured voice. Mime. Marchesi ascribes the prima donna's recent breakdown to nervous excitement, caused at the outset by violent scenes between herself and Patti during the Mapleson tour three years ago, and especially to excitement caused by being told of her sisters death before she had recovered from her confinement; to the worry brought on by her separation from her husband, and lastly to emotion. She seoffs at the idea that moth erhood necessarily rnins a singer's Yoioe
